Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1887-01-14

am aware. If the board had the power
to levy taxes for county purposes at any
legal meeting, it is difficult to understand
why these attorneys never attempted to
serve mdnddntus upon the county hoard
at any time other than at the annual ses-
sion in November
The leTying of tax for county pur-
poses at the present time, appears TO be
| opposed to the general scheme of taxa
ton contemplated by the legislature. and
| am therefore Of the opinion that this
| board has no power at its present session
to levy any part of the county taxes for
the year 1887; the power TO levy all such
taxes being by section 1914, r. s., vested
| in the county board that shall meet in
annual session for the year 1887, and
whose duty it will be to levy the tax.

adopted. Carried
